Changes to image sizes messes up the templates

Hi there

I configured my the following image sizes to be 180 pixels instead of 125
Product variant detail image size, Category thumbnail image size, Manufacturer thumbnail image size

I have set it at 180 because this is the size I found worked best for my customers at my existing stores.  The problem is that although you allow configuration of these images your templates doesn't re-adjust automatically which leaves me with a horrible looking nopcommerce site.  Where do I make the changes so that the templates figure in the sizes these images are configured for?

Thanks!

I know next to nothing about how to work all this, but by trial and error, I found that you can just move your text over and choose large, smaller, etc, until it looks right. Of course, if you have a lot of text and a lot of products, it would be cumbersome. I will be watching this topic for an answer as I am having same problem.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

It works fine with product thumbnail. When I change the image size settings, both the picture and the outer box change automatically. But this doesn't work for category thumbnail in the homepage screen.

if you open up the skin files (in the App_themes folder you can widen the various 'wrapper' styles in the master.css stylesheet which will give you more space on the screen/page

This may mess up some of the store graphics (depending on what theme you are using i.e. darkOrange etc) but if you have image editing software, you can easily fix them.


It's not really complicated - duplicate a theme folder, rename it and edit the css files of the duplicate - view the changes in a browser  - I recommend Firefox browser with firebug installed, it's brilliant for locating the CSS on the page you are viewing
